Things to see and do Dassa-Zoumé

Above the palace, a huge, split stone stone named Okèyité overlooks the valley. To climb up there and enjoy an exceptional panorama, you must go to the Essébré district, located at the foot of the hill. Then, after hitting the homes to ask (if possible) the help of a resident (Gabriel Badjéhoun, for example, if he is not in the fields), you will begin your ascent by the right. Past the houses, especially women who prepare sesame, stairs help to cross the first and short part of the journey. After you have circumvented the superimposed, you will start the road to the induction of the new kings, the first necessary stop, commented on by a guide. Then, with a slightly sporty ascent, you will reach the plateau, with, for horizon, the roofs of Dassa on your left (and the cemetery of Princes, forbidden to visit, on the hillside) as well as palm groves and other teckeraies on your right. Behind you, the tiled tombs of the Idjéhoun-Eyo family continue to welcome the dead of this lineage from Nigeria hundreds of years ago.
